Superconducting Blackout Protection Device for Smart Grid

On April 20, 2009, in Blog, by Neal Dikeman

Today, Zenergy Power plc (AIM:ZEN), a company I am a cofounder of, announced that ConEd, one of thought leaders in the utility sector on transmission & distribution technology (conventional wisdom says they have to be, as given its tremendous load in a small area, the Manhattan grid is devilishly tricky to operate), has agreed to a deal to put in a new kind of fault current limiter, using high temperature superconducting technology.

This is hit number two in FCLs for Zenergy, which last month announced the first ever HTS FCL implementation into the grid with SoCal Edison, another of the global utility thoughtleaders.
